Breast Reconstruction FAQs

If I am a smoker, can I still have surgery?

Dr. Leverett recommends that patients quit smoking prior to surgery, especially for patients seeking breast reconstruction surgery. The healing process works more slowly in patients who smoke because smoking decreases the amount of oxygen in the blood. For this reason, it is even more important for breast reconstruction patients to stop smoking. Depending on the type of lift, there can be a high number of incisions. Compromising the amount of oxygen to those tissues can lead to higher risk of infection, ugly scarring, implant removal and tissue death.
